Prominent Honolulu tax attorney and accountant Michael "Mickey" Rosenthal pleaded guilty yesterday to failure to file a federal income tax return for the year 2000.
The guilty plea to the misdemeanor offense was part of an agreement Rosenthal and his attorney reached with the U.S. attorney's office.
The government agreed not to pursue claims that Rosenthal also failed to file personal tax returns from 2001 through 2005.
He agreed to pay more than $280,000 in back taxes owed.
Federal Magistrate Judge Leslie Kobayashi sentenced Rosenthal to one year of probation, including a six-month stay in a halfway house.
Assistant U.S. attorney Leslie Osborne cited the defendant's education and background in asking Kobayashi to send Rosenthal to jail for up to a year.
